First time investor and tax questions

[Gordon D.]

Hello,

Back in Aug 2018 I purchased my first home (I currently live in a home that I don't own). This first home is my first dabble into real estate investing (and home ownership). It's located out of state and I have a property manager and it's currently rented.

I am trying to get an understanding of what I can write off, since this is considered a first home on the books for me, and first rental property. 

I want to preface that I will be chatting with my accountant but wanted to get an idea beforehand. 

I know I can write off mortgage interest. But here is a list of other items I came up with in my head that may or may not be possible to write off:

• Lawn care and similar (such as power-washing services)
• Home owners insurance
• Property management fees (tenant placement and monthly)
• PMI (don't have it but curious)
• Home warranty (and claim fees)
• Electric and water (while it was vacant)

Are there any other possibilities? 

Thanks for helping out this greenhorn.
